WELLSTON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – A North Carolina man with a lengthy criminal history fatally shot a North County Police Cooperative officer responding a report of a bad check inside a Wellston market Sunday, police said.
North County Cooperative Police Officer Michael Langsdorf was called to Clay’s Wellston Food Market in the 6200 block of Page shortly after 4:30 p.m. Sunday after receiving a report of someone cashing a bad check.
After arriving at the scene, the 40-year-old officer was confronted by the suspect, identified as Bonette Kymbrelle Meeks, during which a struggle ensued inside the store near the counter, according to police. Video surveillance inside the store reportedly captured the entire incident as it unfolded.
Police said during the struggle, the officer and suspect ended up on the floor. Major Ron Martin described the following moments during a press conference Monday morning:
At some point Officer Langsdorf was on top of Meeks, I don’t know how, looking at the video, Mr. Meeks was able to do it, but he was able to pull a gun from his waistband, strike Officer Langsdorf in the side of the head a few times, which caused Officer Langsdorf to be in kind of a daze and lose his hold on Mr. Meeks. Mr. Meeks was able to stand up and stand over Officer Langsdorf as Officer Langsdorf was on the ground facedown, stomach down. Mr. Meeks had the gun in his hand, pointed the gun to the back of Officer Langsdorf’s head and fired one shot.
Martin said the bullet struck Officer Langsdorf in the neck, traveled to his spinal cord and out his front chest. The officer was then rushed to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 5:15 p.m.

If bammy had a son...
“...Bonette Kymbrelle Meeks...”
Urban Amish.
What a shame they lost an officer. As for the shooter, I wouldn’t care if he were thrown off a 50 story building.
hmmmm, I wonder ?
This never gets brought up in the gun control debate. That, and that the criminals are usually released within mere months of committing a gun crime.
Gotta keep trying to keep guns out of the hands of them ol' racist whyyyte peoples though.
Typical violent Democrat.
He is probably only acting his legitimate anger at - having a feminine name./s What on earth was his Mother thinking? The guy may have had the deck against him from the beginning, not to excuse such a barbaric act of executing an officer who was already nearly unconscious. People like he is, ought to face maximum penalty.
As soon as I saw the headline “ Man “ charged in execution of ...I knew it was black perp and white officer . If it were the other way around , the headline would have been White man charged in execution of North Co. black officer .
Tell them ONE time and then light them up.
What Bonette did was actually less heinous than what Wes Cook, AKA Mumia abu-Jamal, did. And Mumia is a darling of the Left.
White cop shot by black thug - nothing to see here......
Prayers for the policeman’s family.
Ask for 1,000 gun-owners to bring all their guns and ammo to a remote spot for a great sporting event. Bring the thug Meeks to the event in an orange jumpsuit and tell him to try and outrun thousands of bullet on the word “GO”..........what a wonderful sight.....
Why blame mom?
Maybe his father gave him that name.
I'd rather see him thrown off a 5 story building 10 times.
Par for the course in urban communities.
I’m surprised the press even gave it space at all.
